Fodor's Travel

It's the Italian/New American bistro 's attention to detail, visible in the exquisite artisanal cheese plate , the seared scallops , whole grilled artichoke , and the homemade triangle-shaped pasta . Read more

This place has some of the best pasta that I've eaten. They have a little more variety compared to Little Nonnas. BYOB , so make sure you get your booze. This place is cash only , so hit the ATM .

Ryan Thrift

Artichoke and octopus to start... short rib ragu with polenta is rich enough for two!

Jenna Quaranta

The portions for the prix fixe menu are SO large - come hungry if you do that!! The lamb osso bucco is to die for.

Nitin Puri

Small intimate dinner spot but great little BYO in the summer especially!

Sarah Leonard

My favorite italian place in the city so far - try the pyramid pasta , gnocchi , and any of their delicious olive oils and/or vinegars!

Lore Benavent

Everything is very tasty. Meat plates are big and are well combined with veggies and sauces. Excellent place!!!

Artichoke , any of the pastas , all worth it. But be prepared to wait -- like an hour, even with a reservation .

Some of the best Italian food you'll ever eat. My 2nd favorite restaurant in Philly. Get the Pyramid Pasta !

Anne Pagsuguiron

Don't eat prior to your dinner if you decide to do the 4 course tasting!! It's worth the money but make room for it :)

Deanna Scott

BYOB for the win. Also, food was amazing.

Nisha Desai

Wasn't impressed with my vegetarian dish but all the carnivores seemed to love it. The truffle cheese is delicious.

Hector Castro

The Cioppino is one of the best seafood meals I've ever had.

Sandra Rubinchik

The whole grilled artichoke is automatic, supersonic, hypnotic, funky, fresh.

Philadelphia Magazine

Food is great, it's tiny inside though.

Cash Only BYOB . Try and the Filet with Mashed Potatos and Brussel Sprouts (w/Bacon). Tremendous Dish.

Get the Pyramid Pasta !

Try the Butternut Squash Soup

Aimee

Overpriced. Mostly small portions. Food is okay. Pyramid pasta tasted like $10 not $30. If Mercato was closer to all the other restaurants most people would choose to go to those instead.
